Abstract

The article discusses the procedures of recognition and demarcation of land of quilombo de Palmas, in Bagé/RS, in particular, the negotiations and conflicts between the quilombolas themselves and between these and the landowners in the region. The general objective is to analyze judicial proceedings no. 0004/1.16.0005661-0, which was processed in the 3rd Civil Court of the District of Bagé/RS, which repealed Municipal Law No. 5,538/2015, which called "Afonso Miranda Collares" the Basic Health Unit of Coxilha das Flores, in the District of Palmas. The research is based on a collection ethnography. The analysis leads us to infer that although the judiciary has applied the constitutional precepts and institutions of protection of diffuse and collective rights to take a fundamental role in the protection of traditional peoples, it is noted that the social reality has not yet fully accepted quilombola rights, so much so that laws that confront the history and memory quilombola are proposed by the democratic representation, approved by the City Council and executed by the municipal executive, which used its resources to defend the legality of the measure judicially.
